hkellickWell, as of tommorow morning, my vacation is officially over :(
I'm ready for school, though. Excited, even.
What classes am I taking?
I'm taking:
Environmental Engineering Design
GIS Applications (an engineering-based GIS application course to give me the info on GIS I really wanna know that the geography course didn't)
Groundwater Modelling (the first half of the course will all be review, but the second half looks interesting and coolies.)
and POSSIBLY I'll be taking an EngiNet course on Biological Principals for Env. Engineers. It all depends on whether I'll be charged extra for the Enginet course. If I am, I won't take it and I'll actually register for Groundwater Modelling. If I won't be charged, I'll just sit in on the class and not do any homework (I just want to learn about the modeling of groundwater. While my interests are in surface water, I want to have a backup plan of being able to do groundwater (the field seems a bit more open anyways))
Ah, the games we play, eh?
In other news, UBEESC is making me a busy bee. On Thursday, I'll be attending an AWMA (Air and Waste Management Association) dinner. It's $10 to get a good meal and rub elbows with people in the air pollution and landfill management business in the Buffalo area.
I'm just going for the dinner, really.
On the other hand, on February February 5th, I'll probably fly down to New York for the day to be part of the NYWEA (New York Water Environment Association) annual conference (NYWEA is more in my interest region. So I'll be rubbing my elbows with potential employers there. Note to self... try really hard to get a freaking resume done by then). The plan is to leave fairly early and come back in the early evening. Literally, just for the day.
Ah, the joys of being an engineer.
What did you guys think of the Golden Globes? I'm still bummed that Lord of the Rings won NOTHING. I thought it was the best damn film of the year. :)
Actually, I just went and saw LotR again today with Josh. My third time. The movie is STILL packed. It's THAT good :) Well, *I* think it's that good! :)
As most of you know, I met![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
trillain at the Galleria Mall saturday. twas cool. You can read her journal for an account of what we did. it was cool. As I said, we need to meet more than once every 6 months. :)
I still want to know ONE THING...
how is it that everyone else is a Zorilla. I'm beginning to feel outnumbered by skunk-things. And me, just a hen!
*thinkles* What else?
Oh! my weight! My weight for the week is *drumroll please* 257. Woowoo! :)
Can't think of anything else I need to report.
See y'all on the flip side.
No, the OTHER flip side.
Yes, that one.
Right!

Golden Globes
Date: 2002-01-21 07:10 pm (UTC)On the other hand, knowing that Robby loved the book that Beautiful Mind was based on, and that I love Ron Howard's films, and that Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly really /are/ awesome, I'm looking forward to seeing that film. When I do, I'll let you know if it deserved to win everything.

That said, I didn't think I'd like the Majestic and I did. It was... I dunno.. good.

The only show I watch regularly is the West Wing. I have them all on tape from about halfway through the second season on.
